Nothing something to scrimp on IMO. Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: The_nun on September 05, 2011, 09:48:51 PM Saying that you need to check max days per trip on this one.

Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Woodsey on September 05, 2011, 09:57:27 PM I get mine from my natwest card for free, check if you have free cover from one of your cards. Otherwise I have found trail finders to have good cover on their insurance as its geared towards backpackers.
Also check the detail if there is specific stuff you want to do to make sure your covered, diving, riding a motorbike etc, don't just get the cheapest insurance. In fact mate, just don't ride a bike there its really fucking dangerous. If your a knobhead like me and use motorbike taxis now and then when your pissed, make sure you put a helmet on, you will see bad accidents there daily. Also carry your insurance details with you all the time as you won't get treatment there if you cant pay for it. I carry a laminated photocopy of my passport page with all my travel insurance details on the back, policy number, emergency assistance number, my mates phone number I'm travelling with etc. Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: sovietsong on September 05, 2011, 10:15:17 PM i wouldnt get annual worldwide ins as generally its a multi trip policy that covers you for 30 days per trip.
you prob need a specialist insurance. i would ring somebody like swinton and get some ideas from them (or statravel) Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Woodsey on September 05, 2011, 10:17:15 PM i wouldnt get annual worldwide ins as generally its a multi trip policy that covers you for 30 days per trip. you prob need a specialist insurance. i would ring somebody like swinton and get some ideas from them (or statravel) Trail finders covers these guys for they what they need they as they deal with round the world trippers all the time. They just need to be clear with them what they are doing. Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Simon Galloway on September 05, 2011, 10:24:17 PM No rush imo, just leave it a few weeks until you are due to go and then look around....

Had a look at STA aswell and theirs is £75 for the year? Cheers Woodsey, ledge as always. Thx to everyone else too :) Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Amatay on September 05, 2011, 11:03:21 PM Whatever ya do, deffo don't leave it til the last minute. we havent Laxie. We still have about 36 hrs before we fly. :) Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Longy on September 05, 2011, 11:16:21 PM If you plan to go to the US and Canada make sure you are covered medically. There are horror stories out there of people ending up with medical bills of up to 6 figs.
Some policies exclude North America because of this.

Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: doogan on September 05, 2011, 11:18:10 PM check the countries you are going to are not on the uk goverments list for places to stay away from, if so sometimes the insurance is void.

Ya eejits. rotflmfao Title: Re: Travel Insurance Post by: Woodsey on September 05, 2011, 11:21:30 PM As an aside, Thailand is a great place to get dental work done if your likely to need it at some point and you can't get it on the NHS here, its a hell of a lot cheaper and of a good standard. Just make sure you get a few recommendations of a dentist on the ground from people you meet out there, preferably expats that have been there a while. Or throw the question out there on this forum for recommendations.

But I don't know anyone who's ever had to make a claim so they're not really tested as such. |
